Thanks very much Steve So very helpful. I’ll check if I can fit one of these Fluidynes in place on Friday. Yesterday I spoke with a local expert rotary racer of 30 plus years here in Perth. He has used Mocal coolers for many years and recommends them. http://www.mocal.co.uk/products-oilcoolers.html I would like to have a comparison between the Mocal and the Fluidyne. Be nice to hear if Lynn E has any experience with the Mocal units? Mocal - 13 x 13.5 x 2 inches - core volume 250 inch2 single pass Fluidyne - 9.25 x 14.75 x 3.125 inches - core volume (estimated) 320 inch2 dual pass The Mocal cooler puts the in/out fittings in a better orientation for our application.

There are removable flanges 0.75" wide along the top and bottom of the 11.5" long core which makes the unit 10.75" high if they are left in place. There is a 1/2" NPT bung that protrudes 0.75" from the top of the end tank. The AN12 male connections were 2.5" from the top or bottom of the end tank and parallel with the long dimension. All these connections are on the same end. > > Steve Boese > >> On Jul 2, 2018, at 5:32 AM, Stephen Izett stephen.izett@gmail.com <flyrotary@lancaironline.net> wrote: >> >> Hi there Steve >> >> Could you do me a favour if the test stand is within reach and measure the dimensions of the DB-30617. >> The Summit site gives the core size and overall dimension as the same! >> When I emailed them, they were unwilling to provide further info. >> Its going to be a tight fit so I need to confirm the actual dimensions. >> >> Steve Izett >> >>> On 28 Jun 2018, at 9:11 am, sboese sboese@uwyo.edu <flyrotary@lancaironline.net> wrote: >>> >>> Still using that cooler on the test stand so it isn't for sale. >>> >>> Steve Boese >>> >>> >>> -------- Original message -------- >>> From: "Stephen Izett stephen.izett@gmail.com" >>> Date:06/27/2018 5:45 PM (GMT-07:00) >>> To: Rotary motors in aircraft >>> Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: OIL >>> >>> Thanks Steve. >>> Looks like a Fluidyne DB-30617 is what we will need to fit our setup. >>> Yours isn’t for sale is it? >>> >>> Steve Izett >>> >>> >>>> On 28 Jun 2018, at 6:59 am, Steven W.

Did you change to the DB-30618 for share under the cowl or was it related to the performance of the single pass unit? >>>>> >>>>> Steve Izett >>>>> >>>>>> On 28 Jun 2018, at 1:37 am, Steven W.
